Veronika Kim - Craniosacral Therapist and One to One Pilates teacher



Over the years, I have had the pleasure of helping many people from many walks of

lives with very different needs from babies with colic to work-related stress

symptoms; from back pain to fatigue to chronic problems; to supporting people with

degenerative illnesses like Parkinson’s and palliative support.



After the sessions, my clients have reported health and well-being improvements with

for example sensations of deep relaxation, improved sleep, feeling energised, and

even comments of feeling whole again.



When  I became a mother over ten years ago, my life entered a whole new dimension,

the world of babies which has taken me on a whole new professional journey of pre

and perinatal psychology which I have incorporated into my practice. Thus deepening

my expertise in working with babies- mother and babies.

Movement, creativity, expression and wellbeing are important aspects of my

professional approach to working with my clients. Movement as an expressive tool in

all its potential, to movement as a therapeutic key, as in Pilates, to movement in

its most subtle form in Craniosacral therapy- or the lack of it for instance in the

case of blockages.



My professional career started off as a mime artist where the subtlety of movement

was everything. It was following an injury that I decided to take my passion of

movements down a therapeutic healing route. Firstly I went on to study Pilates and

graduated more than ten years ago in Pilates Foundation UK a preferred Pilates Body

by the NHS; with a post-graduate in ante-natal and post-natal Pilates. Then I went

on to Craniosacral Therapy at the College of Craniosacral Therapy in London.



Since then, my professional development has also taken me further into pre and

peri-natal psychology through the study of Integrative Baby Therapy with Conscious

Embodiment Trainings in Bristol.



I am qualified to work with all ages both in Pilates and Craniosacral therapy, with

a keen sensitivity and interest into ante-natal, post-natal, babies and children. 



I will be very much looking forward to working with you.

Kate gained a First Class Honours degree in Acupuncture from the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, where she studied Five Element and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) acupuncture, along with dry needling and conventional medicine.  She completed her dissertation research on chronic pain and complex musculoskeletal conditions, and is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (MBAcC) with full insurance.  She draws on the best that Chinese Medicine has to offer to produce a personalised diagnosis and treatment plan for her patients, using mainly acupuncture, auricular (ear) acupuncture, dry needling and cupping in her treatments.  She has been trained to use these techniques alongside any conventional medical treatment that a patient may be having, and has done postgraduate training in pain management; musculoskeletal conditions; emotional health; auricular acupuncture; and to work with patients during/after cancer treatment.  She has experience of treating a wide variety of patients with a wide variety of symptoms and needs, including those anxious about needles.

 

Kate started having acupuncture as a patient to help with painful joints, and subsequently had acupuncture throughout treatment for cancer, and found it invaluable in helping her to cope with both conditions.  Her regular clinic hours are 3:30-8pm Thursdays, however she can offer other times on Thursdays by arrangement.

I am a qualified Health Kinesiology practitioner supporting my clients to be able to move forward in life with a new sense of self-awareness, feeling empowered, grounded and re-connected. I started my HK training in February 2011 and qualified 2.5 years later. My integrative approach embraces different types of Kinesiology with a healing touch. My clients are usually those who have already tried many other modalities and are looking for a deep mind-body-spirit re-integration. My sessions involve non-invasive methods with its main focus being on detoxifying and harmonizing the body on cellular, emotional and spiritual level. This complementary approach has proven to be effective with adults, young people and children alike affected by chronic unresolved issues.

I became interested in alternative therapies about 30 years ago, after my frequent and regular visits to a homeopath and an acupuncturist, which visibly provided some answers to the problems at that time. My training in visual arts (I embarked on in the 80s), supported my interest in the non-verbal aspects of communication, endorsed my intuitive skills, inspired my psychological curiosity and deepened metaphysical understanding of life as such.

I have not rushed to becoming a complementary therapies practitioner till only 7-8 years ago, when I could no longer resist the nagging of my spirit calling (following my mother’s death of cancer) and I had to give it a fair chance.  In 2010 I embarked on a remarkable journey into the Energy Medicine. It’s started with Colourpuncture by Peter Mendel Institute of Esogetic Medicine, and followed with Health Kinesiology by Jimmy Scott along other Kinesiology modalities. This has led to more research and training including nutrition/naturopathy, Acupressure, Healing with Stones, Sound and  vibrational tools, Quantum Touch, Rainbow Reiki, Home-healing/ Energetic Feng Shui, Dream work and a few other schools of energy healing modalities as well as my own ongoing personal development.

When looking back over those few years I see myself from a perspective of so many new reference points that the idea of self-identity becomes a fluid concept and therefore much larger than we could give it a credit for. Self-healing is a journey of consciousness, and it is a way of activating many dormant parts within oneself, those visible and those hidden. I am happy to share with you the tools to communicate with those parts of yourself which need to be heard. Bio-energetic reading based on Muscle testing and the art of verbal questioning I find most effective way of accessing the deep body wisdom, while finding the key to the underlying problem.

‘Vicky’s practitioner skills extend far beyond health kinesiology, she has amazing abilities in uncovering issues, healing and making recommendations. I have only good things to say about Vicky’s remarkable breadth of knowledge and would have no hesitation in recommending her.’

‘I found the treatment I received with Vicky to be very beneficial. I felt it helped to balance my whole system & improve my circulation - which has always been a problem. I had been suffering from stress, panic attacks syndrome & felt much calmer, more alive, panic attacks gone as well as finding that the aching in my legs and ankles improved.’

Georgia Rugg-Easey: Acupuncture and Cupping

Georgia is a warm, enthusiastic and forward-thinking Acupuncturist. She completed extensive training in York where she received her BSc degree in Acupuncture.

Trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) style Acupuncture, Georgia also recognises the importance of modern techniques and research to influence her treatments. She also encourages the combination of Chinese and Western Medicine (where appropriate) for the best results, as each approach can often remove limitations of the other.

In the case of Muscle pain or Sports Performance Optimisation treatments, patients may want a more muscular-skeletal focused treatment. A technique known as ‘dry needling’ can be used, which is effective for the release of muscles and relief from muscular or nerve pain.
Holistic treatments value the interconnected nature of the body and will focus on what is needed for the improvement of overall wellbeing.

Georgia discovered her passion for Acupuncture upon receiving treatment herself. She was immediately fascinated and found numerous benefits. She now works to share the benefits of Acupuncture with anyone who is experiencing pain, seeking change or simply intrigued!

Royston Tan

Royston is a dedicated sports massage and nutrition therapist.

He has an ITEC level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage and a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science, gained at Loughborough University. He is in the process of acquiring his Masters in Sport and Exercise Nutrition.

Royston has treated a wide range of people from elite athletes playing sport for national teams to people wanting to get more out of their existing recreational exercise programmes. Before treatment, he will understand what your objectives of are, and will adapt a programme that fits accordingly.

Introducing Sports Massage

Sports massage is a form of bodywork geared toward participants in athletics. It is used to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help recover from workouts and injuries.

Sports massage has antecedents in earlier periods of history. The ancient Greeks and Romans combined massage and exercise in their athletic training. Over time the benefits of sports massage became accepted, and sports massage became a part of the training regimen, first of professional athletes, then of college and amateur athletes. Whether you are a recreational gym attendee or runner, or an elite athlete sports person, massage can help to keep the body free of pain and injury, as part of a balanced exercise programme.
Conditions that generally respond well to sports massage therapy include:
• muscle pain and stiffness (any area of the body that has muscle restriction)
• muscle strain
• muscle soreness
• muscle tension
• sore spots
• repetitive strain injuries
• tendinitis
• ligament sprain
• oedema (swelling)
The goal of all sports massage is to maximize athletic performance.
Sports Nutrition
There are over 9 million gym members in the UK and many take their exercise regime seriously, and try to “eat healthy” to supplement that programme. Many get advice on what to eat from literature or personal trainers, the nub of which is “eat more protein”.
In reality, maximising performance through improved nutrition is much more complex than that and requires a closer interrogation of what proteins, fat and carbohydrate you consume, and indeed which types of each group, and when. By eating the right food, you can reach your training goals more efficiently (whether muscle growth or fat loss). It is suitable for anyone from gym goers, recreational sports people and athletes.

Nilam qualified in Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and facials in 2014 and has been working at a prestigious hotel in Oxford.

Nilam take a holistic approach to her clients and  believes in the positive, powerful effects massage can have on a person both physically and mentally.

 

Originally a psychologist Edit developed an interest in complementary medicine and in the oriental approach that provides a unifying and dynamic view of the body-mind,where mental processes are not considered to be distinct and separate from physical events.She graduated in London at the Institute of Traditional Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy in 1995 and practices Aromatherapy according to Chinese Medicine and therapeutic Acupressure massage.Her approach places an emphasis on the mutual relationship between the psychological,emotional and physiological components of the "dis-ease".

By releasing tension and restoring a feeling of well being in the body through massage, we can break free from physical patterns of response associated with stress and regain the ability to respond to our challenges in a more creative and adaptive way. The use of essential oils further facilitate this process,as among other properties the essential oils through the olfactory nerves affect the most primitive part of the brain, the limbic system, and by reaching so deeply into the psyche they can relax the mind and uplift the spirit.

 

Treatments

Acupressure & Therapeutic Massage

This is an approach to therapeutic body work that blends Eastern and Western techniques and has primary benefit to the muscular, circulatory and eliminator systems.It restores a balanced muscle tone and freedom of movement due to the expulsion of toxins and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the area through improved circulation.                                                              Acupressure is a body work therapy with roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it involves hands-on stimulation of the body meridian system - the same network of energy channels used in Acupuncture- with the aim to restore a balanced and harmonious flow of Qi in the body. Various degree of pressure is applied on the pressure points where tension tends to accumulate with the result of the muscle yelding to the pressure and elongating.The feeling should be of a good pain.

Aromatherapy according to Chinese Medicine

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils.Essential oils are secondary metabolites ( not essential to the metabolism of the plants). They are chemically complex mixtures that can contain in excess of  300 different components,all of which are responsible for their medicinal activity as well as the fragrance..In this  approach the oils are blended on the basis of their clinical and energetic qualities to much the constitutional terrain of the individual patient.

RS Hom MAR

Classical Homeopath registered with the Society of Homeopaths, Reflexologist and Second Degree Reiki Practitioner.

Training and Experience

Lizzie has been practising Homeopathy in Oxford for over 20 years. After an early career in nursing, she began her study of Homeopathy at the College of Homeopathy in London, and then at the School of Homeopathy in Devon; registering with the Society of Homeopaths in 1990. Lizzie then attended a post-graduate course with Jeremy Sherr's Dynamis School for Advanced Homeopathic Studies, and also trained in transpersonal perspectives and counselling skills. In recent years she has travelled to India for seminars with the Bombay School of Homeopaths and is particularly inspired by the depth of understanding gained by using their method of classical homeopathy.

Lizzie is also a qualified Reflexologist and member of the Association of Reflexologists. She trained at the London School of Reflexology under the tuition of Louise Keet PGCE, MAR. She also trained in Facial Reflexology, and offers a delightful facial treatment that will improve skin tone; and help the face feel and look smoother and younger with a healthy glow.

Lizzie trained in Reiki healing with Ama Boisard, a Reiki Master/teacher and member of the UK Reiki Foundation; and qualified as a Reiki 2 practitioner in 2011.

Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient therapy based on the principle that different parts of the body are reflected in the feet and/or hands.

Reflexology helps to promote wellbeing and health by the application of gentle pressure or massage to different areas on the feet. It is also a deeply relaxing treatment.

By using gentle pressure on specific areas of the feet, Lizzie’s aim is to stimulate and thus improve circulation; and to restore balance and healthy functioning within the body.

The treatment offers you a deeply relaxing and nurturing expereince that will aim to boost the immune system, relieve stress and tension and improve your mood and general wellbeing.

Facial reflexology

Facial Reflexology works on the same principles as foot Reflexology, and the treatment is based on the theory that different areas on the face correspond to areas within the body. The aim of foot and facial Reflexology is to promote healing and help balance the whole body so that it can function at an optimal level. Facial Reflexology is such an effective treatment due to the closeness of the face to the brain and cranial nerves, and this will also have an effect on all body systems.

In addition to stimulating the body’s healing energy, this therapy can help people feel relaxed; and both feel and look younger and more radiant.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a gentle and holistic system of healing which assists the natural tendency of the body towards self-healing. Homeopaths view the symptoms of disease as expressions of disharmony within the whole person; and homeopathic remedies are used to gently stimulate the immune system to heal the body and return it to a greater level of health and wellbeing.

People often seek help from homeopathy and other complementary therapies as a form of prevention, as well as for existing conditions that have been diagnosed by their medical practitioner.

Lizzie's homeopathic practice over the last few years has seen individuals presenting with conditions such as digestive and respiratory complaints, skin or urinary problems, women's health issues, children's illnesses, and sleep and emotional imbalances, among many others.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning 'Universal Life Energy', an energy which is all around us. It is the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui.

It is a system of healing and self-healing that anyone can access. Being focussed on the whole person, and the person's innate ability to heal itself, it will complement any treatment you are having.

Reiki is a safe, gentle and non-intrusive hands-on healing technique which induces relaxation and stress reduction. It also promotes healing. Today, Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.

I trained at the Alexander Technique Training School in Central London where Anthony Kingsley is Director of Training.

I have long been fascinated by the link between our attitude to life and our physical and emotional health, and the Alexander Technique showed me just how true and strong this link is. Our minds and bodies are a single unit and they can't be separated from each other. Alexander expressed this as our psycho physical unity, a concept which has been thoroughly endorsed as a result of the research in neuroscience of recent years.

Several years ago I chose to have a course of lessons in order, I hoped, to avoid surgery on my feet. They did improve, I didn't have to have surgery and I found that my life was invigorated in so many other ways too.

I taught at the Witney Centre for the Alexander Technique for 5 years as well as teaching at the Summertown Clinic in Oxford and for several years at the Alexander Studio in Central London.

I am delighted to be part of the Wellbeing Clinic in Headington and to offer the Alexander Technique as part of the rich variety of complementary healthcare that is available at the clinic.

While she had qualified as a masseuse in 1987, Jay came to holistic therapy by chance in 1997 with Reiki, and felt it was so profound that she progressed to Reiki Master by 2000. Again by chance, she began her journey with crystals, obtaining her Diploma with the International College of Crystal Healing in 2002. She also runs an ACHO accredited school to teach both therapies. Having experienced Cranio Sacral Therapy, she was so impressed she wanted to be able to practise it herself, and qualified in 2012 from the College of Cranio Sacral Therapy.

Jay is in awe of how vibrational healing can reach the parts of our system that are difficult to access and how it focuses on reaching the causes of problems and not just the symptoms. For her, the bottom line is that our bodies and energy fields hold on to everything that happens to us, and sometimes find it difficult to let go of the impacts those things may have. Over time, especially if we suffer repeated trauma, these areas become more blocked and heavy and often manifest later in a negative way, for instance anger, phobias, mental or physical health issues and addictions.

In her years of practice Jay has seen clients with a wide variety of conditions, including depression, PTSD, strokes, heart conditions, MS, psoriasis and arthritis, to name but a few. She finds it both fascinating and uplifting to see and hear about changes in her clients, sometimes after only a session or two.

Both Reiki and Cranio Sacral Therapy are given using a hands-on approach; however they can be given with the hands off the body if the client needs them to be.

Reiki

Reiki translates as ‘universal energy’. It works at the deepest level, by flowing through the hands of the practitioner and into the energetic field of the recipient. There, it is taken wherever and however it is needed most, finding tension, blockages of energy and areas where dis-ease is held and working to bring about harmony to the person receiving it.

Crystal Therapy

Crystals hold vibrational frequencies that resonate with our own and may help us to find a balance in our lives. By tuning in to the client, Jay finds out what their system needs most and then gets a feel for which crystals will best work at that time. In this way, the client receives only the treatment that is most appropriate for them at that moment. Crystals are then placed on or around the body and monitored throughout ensuring maximum safety and comfort for her client.

Cranio Sacral Therapy

CST is a gentle, non-invasive practice that reaches deep within the body, connecting with every part of us including bones, fascia, organs and fluids. It is based upon the motion and rhythms of the cerebro-spinal fluid that surround the brain and spine yet influence the whole body’s system, including the central nervous system.

Connections can be made to the subtlest sensations that may hold the keys to many things, such as tension, blockages, illness, behavioural or addictive patterns and old injuries. CST gives the body the freedom to respond and heal in the way it wants to. It is a very rewarding therapy, and the gentler the treatment the more powerful it seems to be. Many people find themselves drawn to CST when their issues haven’t been resolved through other means.

Massage

Jay uses her elbows as well as her hands to give a deeper massage that gets into the knots and tension to make you feel lighter, more relaxed and yet more energised. If you want a more pampering treatment, do let her know!

Fees

Prices are based on treatments of clients 16 years and over. Children under 16 will be treated at half-price, however treatments will usually be shorter.

Psychotherapy, Integrative Arts Psychotherapy, Parent Infant Psychotherapy

What can Psychotherapy Offer?

Emotions, relationships and the impact of what has happened in the past may seem confusing and overwhelming at times. Psychotherapy can offer a place to explore emotions and experiences, and gain a greater awareness and understanding of oneself and relationships with others.

Psychotherapy offers a safe place to learn about our experience of ourselves. In our growth towards wholeness we may find meaning and understanding in our existence.

"Knowledge of one's own deep nature is also simultaneously knowledge of human nature in general" Maslow, 1971

Why use the Arts?

Using various art forms such as painting, poetry, puppetry, music, clay and movement, may provide further dimensions to the possibilities of psychotherapy. An image may communicate many different meanings, perceptions and feelings at once. Creativity may be a powerful means of understanding and giving meaning to our experience. Thus we may deepen awareness and choice in our lives.

"It seems likely that when we create something ourselves … we are attempting to reorganise our own inner experience" Storr, 1972.

No experience of using the Arts is necessary.

Existential Psychotherapist UKCP Registered

WHAT IS EXISTENTIAL PSYCHOTHERAPY?

A form of therapy based on ideas from existential philosophy.

Clients have the opportunity/possibility of clarifying, reflecting upon and understanding their existence. This can involved exploring relationships and decision-making. The aim of the therapy is to bring into greater focus how you are currently living and then consider possible adjustments that seem appropriate to you.

Existential therapy can focus on one particular aspect of your life and take only a few sessions. Alternately, it can be a more open-ended exploration and take as many sessions as you the client feel to be appropriate.

Sessions last for 50 minutes, usually once a week, and cost £50 each.

Often it is useful to have an introductory session to discuss the possibilities and discover if existential therapy with George is what you are looking for.

INTRODUCING TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has existed for more than 4,000 years, and became an established medical discipline around 2,500 years ago. Further development resulted in various specialisations, for example: dermatology, gynaecology and paediatrics. TCM training in China is a five year full-time university course and is regarded as an orthodox medicine there. It is included as an integral part of national health care system.

Health and disease, in TCM terms, are explained according to the concepts of "Yin-Yang" and "The Five Elements". The principle of the treatment is based on the same concepts. The aim is not only to give short-term relief to various ailments, but also to provide long term benefits to the general health after treatment ceases.

Clinical trials in recent years have confirmed that this approach is effective in treating many conditions, for example: heart disorders, and disorders of the pulmonary, digestive and urinary systems. The efficacy of TCM has also been proven in a number of gynaecological, neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. Recent scientific research carried out in this country has shown that Chinese herbal medicine is very effective in treating adult and childhood eczema. Importantly, the herbal mixtures used for treatment do not contain any form of steroids.

TCM does not claim to cure all diseases. Indeed, if any ailment is allowed to progress damage to the entire body could be so severe that prognosis would be poor even with treatment. For this reason TCM practitioners advocate prevention and early treatment.

What is a Clinical Psychologist?

Clinical Psychologists are trained to doctoral level in applied psychology. I specialise in working with adults who wish to change. I have treated all types of emotional difficulties over the last 20 years.

Change is organic and so there is always a wider consequence in terms of how our actions affect others. Clinical Psychologists are trained to work with the individual, the group and the system.

Examples of individual work include using CBT to help someone recognise and overcome panic attacks. A group approach could be to work with a staff team and assist them in recognising their resources using psycho-education about stress. A systemic intervention may involve looking at how organisations respond to change and working with managers to reduce risks of staff burnout and sickness absence.

What will we do in individual sessions?

I tend to work with people in a goal-orientated, time-limited style; guided by the principles of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). I am also trained in interpersonal therapy (IPT) which can be a helpful approach when working with depression and social/communication issues. We can develop solution-focused strategies for the future as well as deal with your current challenges.

Who is suitable?

In principle, anyone can be referred for assessment/signposting. People I have worked with in the past have experienced:

•  Anxiety / panic/ stress


• Depression / despair / confusion


• Anger / self esteem / loss of confidence


• Phobias / obsessions / addictions


• Issues in managing time / pressure / demands


• Eating distress


• Losses / bereavement / physical heath problems

What to do next?

The first step is to meet and see how you and I can work together. My contact details are below. It would help us focus if you could bring ideas about what helps you to cope to the 1st session.

NB Clinical Psychologists do not prescribe medication but can liaise with other prescribing doctors if appropriate.

Biography

I originally trained as a Nurse in London and then studied Psychology and Counselling as an undergraduate. I completed my Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology at the Queens University Belfast and then practised in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. I have worked with people who have a wide range of psychological issues as well as those who have had serious mental health problems.

I am particularly interested in workplace wellbeing. I have provided training on how to manage stress to organisations and worked with Occupational Health staff regarding the implementation of 'Healthy Work' policies. I am drawn to models of human development which focus on strengths/competencies. I see self-care as an intrinsic part of growth and I am inspired by the psychology of coping and resilience. I am fascinated by people's own theories of change and enjoy seeing their ideas and mine combine to make real life challenges manageable.

Fees

£130 per session (usually 50 minutes).

I am an Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists (BABCP Acc), a Graduate member of the British Psychological Society (MBPSs), and a Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP)

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a psychological approach which has shown to be effective for a wide range of problems. Client and Therapist work together to identify and understand the problems in terms of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Client and Therapist develop a shared view of the individual's problems and they can then identify personalised, time-limited therapy goals and strategies to treat the problem.

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a technique which involves practices that can help break cycles of anxiety, stress and depression.

Other areas of experience have included Family Mediation, mediating separating couples, and families with communication difficulties, Children’s Support Worker and Youth Counsellor.

Qualifications

I studied Psychology at Reading University, and then went on to complete a Diploma in Counselling with CSCT at Westminster College in Oxford. I then specialised in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) at the Centre for Stress Management in London, Oxford Cognitive Therapy Centre and Reading University.

I endeavour to keep my knowledge and skills up to date by attending training on a regular basis.

The Five Element System of Acupuncture

Claudia Smith was trained in the Five Element System of Acupuncture. This system is based on the idea that all our symptoms, however physical, will usually come from an emotional cause.

The five emotions which can cause disease are anger, grief, lack of joy, fear, worry, or a combination of all of them. Her job is to take an initial diagnosis which will take 1½ hours, during which time a very detailed case history will be taken. Also, a short physical examination of the pulses, the back and the abdomen will be undertaken.

Claudia predominantly uses the Five Element System but will also give life-style advice. Many people come to her just because they don't have any energy or they don't feel right in themselves. Putting those meridians back into balance will usually improve the person's feeling of wellbeing.

Claudia completed her training in 1989 at The College of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, Royal Leamington Spa where she received her Licentiate of Acupuncture. She is a Member of the British Acupuncure Council and has pursued further studies at The College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, Reading.

Initial consultation and treatment with Claudia: 90 minutes £65

Follow up treatments: 60 minutes £45.

DHyp. MIAPH

"There is always a solution"

Arne Richards is a professional Hypnotherapist, musician and music therapist. He is also trained in NLP, CBT techniques and Life Coaching. He has been privileged to tour the world as a performer and consultant music therapist and before training in hypnotherapy Arne worked extensively with people with special needs, children and adults, elderly groups, asylum seekers and people in prison.

Arne continues to work with organisations such as the NHS, MIND, MENCAP, The Prison Service, Oxford University and Corporate Groups around the country.

Arne has a successful and busy hypnotherapy practice here at the Wellbeing Clinic and in Oxfordshire. He trained with the Hypnotherapy Control Board and is a member of the International Association of Pure Hypnoanalysis which insists upon exceptionally high standards of ethical practice and ongoing training and supervision.

Free Health Screening

Are you the sort of person who suffers from Fears, Phobias or Anxieties?

Do you perhaps feel that life is passing you by?

Is your smoking, overeating or lack of confidence getting in your way?

If so, please call Arne now for a free initial consultation. This will put you under no obligation whatsoever and will enable you to meet him and then together you can decide whether Arne is the right person to help you. Whatever your problem, it will be dealt with in a caring and sympathetic way. Confidentiality is guaranteed.

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural process which generates a wonderful feeling of calm and well-being as well as a state of heightened awareness. During this time it is possible to harness the power of the subconscious mind in order to help many symptoms and conditions. People are totally in control of their own mind and can converse normally.

Arne offers two forms of hypnotherapy

Suggestion Therapy

Otherwise known as clinical hypnotherapy, this is a very effective method of treating simpler problems using the power of the subconscious to change habits and to bring about a therapeutic resolution. Help with smoking (95% success rate), overeating, nail biting, children's problems, exam nerves, lack of confidence - all these conditions can be successfully treated with suggestion therapy.

Hypnoanalysis

Arne is a specialist in this unique form of therapy, practised only by those trained by the Hypnotherapy Control Board. Hypnoanalysis is a powerful, fast-track way of treating symptoms which would, by any other forms of analysis, take years to resolve.

Arne believes that every problem has its own solution. He also believes that each and every symptom must have a cause. Over the course of 7 or 8 sessions, sometimes less, the revealing of this cause through hypnoanalysis will subsequently resolve the symptoms completely. Conditions which lend themselves to this type of therapy include;

Anxiety, nervous disorders, allergies, phobias of all kinds, sexual problems, IBS, stress, insomnia, emotional problems and many more.

What is Life Coaching?

A life coach is an individual who supports and encourages people to fulfil their potential and really make the most of their life. A life coach can help to empower individuals to take control of their life, or certain areas of their life, for example, their career, confidence/self belief, finances, health, relationships, spirituality and/or work/life balance.

It can be easy to lose direction in our lives and life coaching aims to explore ways to enhance the skills, qualities and creativity we already have but may not be making the most of. Life coaching often involves exploring our attitudes, beliefs and values, discussing our aims in life and setting appropriate goals to help us to reach them. Unlike trying to achieve goals on our own, having a life coach should help to keep us committed, motivated and focussed. Just like sports men and women have their own coach, a life coach helps us to become the best we can be in our own lives.

What is NLP?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) explores the relationship between how we think, how we communicate and our patterns of behaviour. We all have thoughts, reactions and behaviour patterns that are automatically 'programmed' into our minds; along with attitudes, beliefs and habits that can sometimes cause us unnecessary pain, and prevent us from achieving our goals.

NLP practitioners work with the conscious and unconscious mind to replace negative patterns of behaviour and thinking with more positive ones. Similar to a life coach, an NLP practitioner supports and encourages individuals to fulfil their potential and empowers them to take control of their life or certain areas of their life.

The terms Life Coach and NLP Practitioner are often used interchangeably, as both address an individual's beliefs, emotions, values, thoughts and behaviours. The main differences between the two is that life coaches only work with the conscious mind through conversation and goal setting, whereas NLP practitioners also work with the unconscious mind to change negative patterns of thinking and behaviour. NLP practitioners may also want to explore the past, whereas life coaches will focus more on the present and the future.
